Customer review: "Fabulous overnight stay at the Halston. Four adults and two dogs in a large suite. Warm and friendly staff greeted us, and dogs were welcomed with food, bowls and beds included in the suite. Very well-appointed kitchen, with welcome crumpets, butter, milk and pod coffee machine. Large comfy living room. Central location."

Amongst the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park, you'll find The Lister Arms, a quintessential English pub/18th-century inn boasting 23 dog-friendly bedrooms and an on-site bakery which creates homemade treats for you and your pups. Upon arrival, all four-pawed guests are greeted with treats, a bed and bowls for use throughout their stay. After a busy day of exploring the famous walks and trails of the Yorkshire Dales, paw-rents can make full use of the dog wash at the front door, complete with hose, dog shampoo and towels, plus a boot room to store your muddy wellies and otherdog walking accessories.

Customer review: "We had a fantastic stay at the Lister Arms. The staff are so friendly and accommodating, lovely rooms and great food. It was so nice to come back from a cold wet walk to the cosy fire and a hot chocolate. Lots of places say they’re dog friendly, but they really are here. Willow got a sausage for breakfast, they had home made dog treats, and fluffy mats for them to sit on rather than the stone floor. We will be recommending this special place to friends and family for sure."

Customer review: "Just back from a fantastic night at The Globe- we booked it for the night of our wedding day and were treated like VIPs. Staff very friendly and attentive. Room really comfortable and loved all the doggy extras. We have a large friendly German Shepherd and usually have problems finding somewhere to stay but the staff made us feel very welcome. Will definitely be returning."

Customer review: "This is by far the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in and dog friendly too! This was a special visit for our anniversary and wanted our dogs to join us for the occasion. The service, from the point of booking, has been incredible. All of the staff are polite and very helpful making our stay that extra impressive. On arrival, we were sat in the beautiful lounge, which is stunning and had a glass of champagne (pawsecco for the dogs). There is a complimentary snack cart, which serves a variety of delicious foods throughout the day. We were shown to our room and what a room it was. I believe we had been upgraded and found a beautiful anniversary cake, chocolates and a card on the side. The dogs had their own bed with dog-safe popcorn and treats as well as toys. We had already planned a separate restaurant booking (as we had the dogs) but returned to the lounge in the evening. After having a few drinks (and some more treats from the cart) we returned to our room to find evening biscuits plus a card addressed to the dogs and our bed ready for a great night's sleep. I would 100% recommend this hotel. I felt like a queen for the night and the fact we could have our dogs with us everywhere, really made it for us. Thank you Hotel 41, would love to return."

Tucked away in the picturesque Cotswolds, The Fish Hotel offers a serene escape for you and your four-legged companion, providing a range of dog-friendly accommodations, including a charming treehouse straight from a storybook.

Customer review: "Such an unpretentious yet luxury place to spend a few days, where all the small touches make all the difference. Dogs looked after so well - from sausages at breakfast and an agility course to try, to beds for sitting beside you at dinner - the well-stocked mini bar, an amazing double bath experience on our treehouse balcony, 'rental' boots for the muddy walk to Broadway, stunning food, friendly staff. It isn't the cheapest... but 'you get what you pay for' and we will be back for sure!"

Customer review: "We picked St Michael's resort in Falmouth because they said they were dog friendly. Well, they were way more than that. Beautiful, large room with a huge, spotless bathroom and a private courtyard garden with sea views. Our two dogs were provided a bed each, bowls, treat bags... Food was superb, staff were very friendly, the whole experience was just fab. Thank you."

This hotel is really something very special and we recommend anyone to come here and enjoy this wonderful place. The whole experience from start to finish has been first class and totally relaxing. The staff are great, especially Kenndrea, Michelle, Crystal and Mike who go above and beyond to make your stay truly special. The hall has been renovated to a high standard and has kept its original features. The bedrooms are clean, comfortable with everything you need. The hotel is dog friendly and provides a welcoming treat box for them on arrival. Charlie has been so well behaved, everyone loves him. We all look forward to returning in the near future but until then, thank you."
